(Pleasant?) Tingling Sensation in Penis

I'm an 18 year old male, and whenever as of today and yesterday , after masturbating i still have this tingling feeling right below the head of my penis ( right above where the stem meets the head). Its a pleasant feeling, as if i am being sexually stimulated ,even when my penis is flaccid, though at this point it is irritating as i cannot NOT focus on the feeling--its a bit distracting. I've tried masturbating again and again ( with false hope that this feeling is because of pent up sexual tension) but to no avail i still have the tingly sensation. It is not painful, does not burn or even hurt in any way, shape ,  or form. I masturbated 5 times today ( i normally don't masturbate this often, at most once per day if even that) because of the sensation. Could this be a problem or infection? I'm a virgin and with no history of STI's or STDs.

Hello,
This tingling sensation can be due to excessive masturbation causing nerve compression. Tingling sensation of the penis can be due to anxiety, contact dermatitis, traumatic damage to the nerves of penis, diabetes, prostatitis, genital herpes, urethritis and STD’s like Gonorrhea and Syphilis but they are less likely in your case.

I would suggest you to keep the area clean and wear cotton underwear. Also apply a mild steroid cream on the penis. If the symptoms persist then the above said conditions have to be ruled out. Please consult a urologist in that case.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

Hello there,
I am 18 years old virgin and I have had the same problem for a while now. It has been a nightmare for me. It is an annoying tingling feeling that can be pleasurable too. I tried many different ways and also saw a Urologist but he said nothing is wrong. I hope you found a solution for this problem that can change my life. Hope to hear back from you.
Thank you
Anybody found a cure for this yet I'm feeling the same way it's like a bug biting inside my penis urethra and when I squeeze it it feels good sometimes I get bothered from it I'm just tired of it
